In the recent trademark infringement lawsuit involving Marvel and Disney, the entertainment giants have allegedly displayed a lax attitude in the settlement negotiations. The apparel company involved in the case, owned by a trust, has reported to a North Carolina federal court that Disney has been unresponsive despite numerous requests for information.
The trust operating the small apparel company has pointed out that both Marvel and Disney had to be persistently contacted to share required information pertinent to the lawsuit. This lackadaisical behavior from the entities in question has been present not only during the process of information procurement but also throughout the ongoing settlement discussions.
The details of these allegations come amidst the backdrop of a heated intellectual property dispute, one where the legal dealings of some of the biggest entertainment corporations are put under the microscope. For more on this, do refer to the initial report by Law360.
